Colour palettes
Stylecraft colour combinations: 25 pack palettes
The Stylecraft colour combinations people copy most are designer yarn packs, and the 25 Special DK packs we checked lean hard on a few shades: Meadow 1065 is in 13 of them. Below is every shade code in 21 Attic24 packs and four packs from Cherry Heart and Catherine’s Crochet Corner, with ball counts and Wool Warehouse prices checked 2 October 2026. A second table ranks the shades that turn up in the most packs.
Every pack palette, shade by shade
Each row is one yarn pack as Wool Warehouse lists it. Shades are in the order the shop lists them, with the four-digit Stylecraft code. A shade with ×2 or ×3 comes as two or three balls; everything else is one 100g ball. Names and codes follow our Stylecraft Special DK colour chart, so Wool Warehouse’s Sherbert appears here as Sherbet 1034 and its Fuschia Purple as Fuchsia Purple 1827.
Most Attic24 packs are 15 balls in 15 shades at £34. Three of hers double up: Harmony has three balls of Parma Violet 1724, Summer has four shades in pairs, and Yuletide has three shades in pairs. The other designers’ packs repeat their main shades more, such as five balls of Parchment 1218 in Cherry Heart’s Faded Painted Roses.

The shades that turn up most
We counted how many of the 25 packs use each shade, with python3. The 25 packs use 91 different shades between them. Meadow 1065 is the clear leader at 13 packs. Camel 1420 comes next at 11, then Pistachio 1822, Cloud Blue 1019 and Sage 1725 at 10 each.
Four of the top five are greens or a pale blue, and the fifth, Camel, is a light brown. If you’re building your own combination and want it to sit near these packs, Meadow, Camel, Cloud Blue and Sage are the shades they share most.

What Attic24 palettes have in common
Across the 21 Attic24 packs, Meadow 1065 appears in 11 and Cloud Blue 1019 in 10. Camel 1420 and Sage 1725 are in 9 each, and Magenta 1084 and Pistachio 1822 in 8. The 21 packs use 87 different shades, so the repeats sit alongside a lot of variety.
Only two Attic24 packs use the 20 shades Stylecraft added in October 2024. Storyteller uses nine of them and Wildshore uses six. None of the 25 packs uses the three mixes Stylecraft marked as new on 1 October 2026: Indigo Mix 2192, Strawberry Mix 2193 and Honey Mix 2194.
Shades no pack uses
Of the 125 current Special DK shades, 34 aren’t in any of the 25 packs. They include Charcoal 1128, Graphite 1063, Warm Grey 1805, Matador 1010, Royal 1117, Bright Green 1259 and Emperor 1425, plus nine of the shades added in 2024, such as Poppy 2170, Jade 2177 and Tea Green 2189.
Plain neutrals are rare too. Black 1002 and White 1001 each appear only in Catherine’s Crochet Corner’s Ross Poldark pack, and Grey 1099 is in four packs. If you want a palette that doesn’t look like a familiar pack, these unused shades are a place to start.
Pack or single balls?
On 2 October 2026 Wool Warehouse sold a single ball of Special DK at £2.35. Fifteen single balls would cost £35.25, so a £34 Attic24 pack saves £1.25. The 17-ball packs at £38.50 save £1.45 against £39.95, and Sunny Log Cabin saves £1.50 at £40.80 against £42.30.
The other designers’ packs are closer to the single-ball price. Weekender is £35 against £35.25 for 15 singles, and the two 16-ball Catherine’s Crochet Corner packs are £37.50 against £37.60. Some Attic24 packs include a printed pattern and some don’t, so read the listing. Wool Warehouse showed free UK delivery on orders over £30, and every pack here is above that.
| Pack size | Example | Pack price | Same balls bought singly | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 balls | Attic24 Cosy, Coast and others | £34.00 | £35.25 | £1.25 |
| 17 balls | Attic24 Harmony, Original | £38.50 | £39.95 | £1.45 |
| 18 balls | Attic24 Sunny Log Cabin | £40.80 | £42.30 | £1.50 |
| 15 balls | Cherry Heart Weekender | £35.00 | £35.25 | £0.25 |
| 16 balls | Demelza, Ross Poldark | £37.50 | £37.60 | £0.10 |
| 29 balls | Cherry Heart Faded Painted Roses | £67.50 (Part A £35.00 + Part B £32.50) | £68.15 | £0.65 |

Make your own combination from the table
Pick shades from the tables, write the code next to each name, and decide how much of each colour you need. A multicolour palette is where whole-ball rounding bites: 15 colours that each need a third of a ball still mean 15 balls. The colour-rounding explorer shows how the number of colours changes the balls you buy, and our yarn by colour guide covers splitting a total between shades.
Check codes against the full Special DK colour chart before you order, because several names are close: Lavender, Wisteria and Parma Violet are three different shades. Compare a pack with the same shades bought singly using our yarn packs vs single balls guide.
How we compiled the list
We opened each pack’s Wool Warehouse page on 2 October 2026 and copied the shade names, codes, ball counts and price. All 25 were in stock. Wool Warehouse lists more Attic24 packs than we show: Aria and Canal Boat give names without codes, and Springfrost mixes in two balls of Special Baby DK, so we left those out of the counts. We didn’t find checkable shade-by-shade lists for Rosina Plane’s temperature packs or for Jera’s Jamboree, so they aren’t included.
One listing doesn’t match the chart. Wool Warehouse’s Harbour pack lists Spice with code 1712, but 1712 is Lime and Spice is 1711. Lucy’s own Harbour introduction post names Spice among the 15 shades and doesn’t include Lime, so we counted it as Spice 1711. We haven’t made these blankets, and the shade lists and quantities are the designers’ packs as Wool Warehouse sells them.
Check before you move on
- Shade name and four-digit code written down for every colour
- Codes checked against the Special DK colour chart, not names alone
- Balls per shade read from the listing, not assumed to be one each
- Pack price compared with the same balls bought singly
- Listing checked for whether a printed pattern is included
- Each colour rounded up to whole balls on its own
